If you haven't already, go over to Air Mech and have a read of the ALAE threads, interesting stuff about the EASA proposals/ALAE, etc.
When it comes to our licenses it seems the biggest danger the LAE population have is themselves! We are an apathetic bunch when it comes to the very thing that is our livelyhood, our license.
Contact/join the ALAE or contact AEI(Aircraft Engineers International) if you are a European LAE. Make some noise, whether it is to your local surveyor, to EASA themselves or the politicians.
Talk to your colleagues, encourage them to join, for ALAE it less than 2 pounds a week!, think of it as an investment in your future.
OK, I will get off the soap box now.
